Steve,

Your Mom was something very, very special. I never spoke to her and never met her.

I know just how special she was because of you Steve. There's no doubt that the way you are with people, your caring nature, your ability to include those who are not usually included, and your constant effort to go beyond what most would do, all this Steve, must have begun, and come from, your Mom.

I never met your Mom, but I am sure she was very, very special.

Be glad you were blessed with someone like that.

Spyder

Steve,

Very sorry to hear about your loss. May you only have sweet memories. We didn't even have to know your Mom to realize that she had to be a wonderful person. Her imprint was left on a terrific guy.

Hang in there pal,

HB
